SE Visible is SE Ranking's standalone AI visibility platform: $89 a month ($71 billed annually) buys 75 prompts tracked daily, 5 projects and unlimited user seats, with API, MCP and a Data Studio connector on every plan. It is one of the best prompt-per-dollar deals in the category. Teams still look elsewhere, usually for engines SE Visible does not list, such as Perplexity and Claude, for content workflows it has not shipped yet, or for a cheaper entry point. Below are ten alternatives, with prices read from each vendor's own pricing page on 31 October 2026. We make Mentionova, the first tool on the list, so we say where it loses.

## What are the key takeaways?

-   **SE Visible Basic is $89 a month** ($71 annual) for 75 prompts, about 11,250 AI answers a month, 5 projects and 1 location per project, tracked daily. Core is $189 for 200 prompts and unlimited locations. The trial is 10 days.
-   **Perplexity is not on SE Visible's engine list,** and Claude is marked "coming soon" on the Agency plan only. Otterly, Promptwatch, Rankability, Scrunch and Mentionova all track Perplexity on their entry plans.
-   **Rankability tracks 11 AI platforms daily from $97** for 100 queries, the lowest price per tracked prompt on this list.
-   **Otterly is the cheapest monthly plan at $29.** Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit is $99 for 25 tracked prompts with no free trial.
-   **Mentionova costs more per prompt and schedules runs weekly, not daily.** Starter is $125 a month ($99 annual) for 25 prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google. It fits teams that want opportunities with ready briefs and Reddit threads, which SE Visible lists as in progress or does not cover.

## What are the best SE Visible alternatives for AI visibility tracking?

The strongest alternatives are Mentionova for briefs and Reddit, Peec AI and Promptwatch for daily tracking at $95, Otterly for the smallest budget, Rankability for 11 platforms at $97, Semrush and Ahrefs if you already pay for an SEO suite, Rankscale for credits, and Scrunch and AthenaHQ for broader platforms. Prices were read on 31 October 2026.

"Engines on entry plan" means what the cheapest paid plan includes. Several tools add engines on higher plans or as paid add-ons.

## What does SE Visible include on each plan?

SE Visible sells three self-serve plans and a custom Enterprise plan. Every plan tracks daily, includes unlimited user seats and competitors, and comes with API access, MCP access and a Data Studio connector. Plans differ by prompts, projects, locations and models. Annual billing saves 20%. These figures come from visible.seranking.com/pricing, read on 31 October 2026.

| SE Visible plan | Monthly | Annual (per month) | Tracked prompts | AI answers a month | Projects | Locations | Extras |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Basic | $89 | $71 | 75 | ~11,250 | 5 | 1 per project | Daily tracking, API, MCP, Data Studio |
| Core | $189 | $151 | 200 | ~30,000 | 10 | Unlimited | Same, with unlimited locations |
| Agency | $399 | $319 | 1,000 | ~180,000 | 30 | Unlimited | Daily or weekly tracking, Claude (coming soon), customer success manager |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | From 2,000 | Custom | Unlimited | Custom | Models on request |

The plan cards list ChatGPT, AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Copilot, collected by web scraping, so SE Visible sees answers the way a user does. Claude Haiku will be asked through the API without web search. Each location counts as a separate tracked prompt. Clients can log in and see only their brand, and role-based permissions control who can edit.

SE Visible is also bundled into SE Ranking's SEO plans. SE Ranking Core is $129 a month ($103.20 annual) and includes SE Visible limits of 25 prompts tracked daily, with a 14-day trial and no card required.

## Why do teams look for an SE Visible alternative?

SE Visible is cheap and well built, so the reasons to leave are specific: engine coverage, because Perplexity is not listed and Claude is still coming; the action layer, because content gaps and full agent workflows are marked "soon" or beta; and locations, because Basic covers one market per project.

1.  **Engine coverage.** The pricing page lists five web-scraped engines and no Perplexity. Claude is marked "coming soon" and only on Agency. Grok, DeepSeek and Mistral need an Enterprise conversation.
2.  **Tracking without the next step.** SE Visible's homepage says its agents, in beta, "flag gaps", and that agents to run the full workflow are still being built. Content gap analysis, query fan-out analysis and brand sentiment tracking are listed as coming soon.
3.  **One location on Basic.** Each extra location uses a separate tracked prompt, and Basic includes 1 location per project. Brands selling in several countries need Core at $189.
4.  **Country list.** The homepage lists seven countries (US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain) and five languages.
5.  **Reddit.** Reddit is not among SE Visible's listed engines, and its pricing page lists no Reddit engagement.

## Which SE Visible alternative fits which use case?

Match the alternative to the gap you are leaving with. For Perplexity and every other model, Promptwatch or Rankability. For the same daily job with unlimited users, Peec AI. For the smallest bill, Otterly. For teams already inside an SEO suite, Semrush or Ahrefs. For opportunities with briefs and Reddit replies, Mentionova.

### Is Mentionova the right alternative if you want briefs and Reddit?

Mentionova Starter is $125 a month, or $99 billed annually, for 25 tracked prompts on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google, with 100 agentic tasks. Scale is $400 ($320 annual) for 100 prompts on six engines, adding Claude, Gemini and Reddit. Every plan includes actionable opportunities with ready briefs, workflows for bulk content and Reddit engagement. The Reddit tab lists the threads your engines cite and drafts a reply for you to post yourself; Mentionova never posts on your behalf. There is no pixel or tag to install. See [Mentionova pricing](https://mentionova.com/pricing).

### Is Peec AI the closest like-for-like swap?

Peec AI Starter is $95 a month for 50 prompts tracked daily on 3 models chosen from ChatGPT, AI Mode, AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini and Naver AI, which Peec counts as 4,500 answers a month. Users and competitors are unlimited. Pro is $245 for 150 prompts; Advanced is $495 for 350 prompts and 5 projects. Perplexity and API access sit on Enterprise. See [Peec AI alternatives](https://mentionova.com/blog/peec-ai-alternatives).

### Is Promptwatch better if you need every model?

Promptwatch Essential is $95 a month for 1 project, 50 prompts and 6,000 responses, tracking all models, including Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI, DeepSeek and Mistral, with MCP and API access. Content writing and refresh start on Professional at $245, and Business ($579) adds up to hourly tracking and state and city tracking. Essential and Professional carry a 7-day trial.

### Is Otterly the cheapest way to keep tracking?

Otterly Lite is $29 a month, or $25 billed annually, for 15 prompts on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, tracked daily with unlimited team members. Claude, Google AI Mode and Gemini are add-ons. Standard ($189) gives 100 prompts, unlimited workspaces, API, MCP and agent analytics. See [Otterly alternatives](https://mentionova.com/blog/otterly-ai-alternatives).

### Is Rankability a better fit for agencies?

Rankability Starter is $97 a month for 100 tracked AI queries across 11 platforms, checked daily, including Perplexity, Claude, Grok, Brave AI, DeepSeek and Meta AI. It adds 20 content projects a month, Google and Local Pack tracking, audits and unlimited client workspaces. The 7-day trial requires a card. Agency is $297 and Agency Pro is $497.

### Are Semrush or Ahrefs better if you already pay for an SEO suite?

Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit is $99 a month for 1 project and 25 tracked prompts, updated daily, with no free trial; 50 more prompts cost $60 a month. Ahrefs Brand Radar Custom Prompts start at $50 a month, and its AI Visibility Index, covering 519 million prompts, starts at $199. Every paid Ahrefs plan includes a daily Custom Prompts quota: 5 on Lite, 10 on Standard, 20 on Advanced. Our [Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit alternatives](https://mentionova.com/blog/semrush-ai-visibility-toolkit-alternatives) post compares both.

### Are Rankscale, Scrunch or AthenaHQ better fits?

Rankscale Pro is $99 a month ($84 annual) for 1,200 credits, up to 4,800 answers across 17+ engines, scheduled hourly to monthly, with a free trial. Scrunch Core is $250 for 125 prompts on four engines, with site audits and AI bot traffic. AthenaHQ has a free tier, then Starter at $295 for 3,600 credits across 11 models.

## What is the cheapest SE Visible alternative per tracked prompt?

Only Rankability beats SE Visible per tracked prompt: $0.97 against $1.19, calculated from monthly list prices. Otterly has the lowest bill at $29 but costs $1.93 per prompt. Semrush's toolkit works out to $3.96. Mentionova is the most expensive per prompt here at $5.00.

| Tool | Entry plan, monthly billing | Prompts | Price per prompt (calculated) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Rankability Starter | $97 | 100 | $0.97 |
| SE Visible Basic | $89 | 75 | $1.19 |
| Promptwatch Essential | $95 | 50 | $1.90 |
| Peec AI Starter | $95 | 50 | $1.90 |
| Otterly Lite | $29 | 15 | $1.93 |
| Scrunch Core | $250 | 125 | $2.00 |
| Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit | $99 | 25 | $3.96 |
| Mentionova Starter | $125 | 25 | $5.00 |

Price per prompt ignores how many engines each prompt runs on, how often it runs and what you get beyond tracking. SE Visible's five engines per prompt are part of why it scores well here. For every platform's price in one table, see [AI visibility tool pricing](https://mentionova.com/blog/ai-visibility-tool-pricing-2026).

## Should you choose SE Visible, an SEO suite add-on or a dedicated platform?

Choose SE Visible if you want daily numbers for many prompts and projects at a low price. Choose a suite add-on such as Semrush or Ahrefs if your team already lives in that suite. Choose a dedicated platform with an action layer, such as Promptwatch, Rankability or Mentionova, if you want gaps turned into pages, sources or replies.

A quick decision path:

1.  **You need daily numbers for a report.** Stay on SE Visible, or pick Otterly ($29) for a smaller prompt set.
2.  **Perplexity matters to your buyers.** Otterly, Promptwatch, Rankability, Scrunch or Mentionova all track it on the entry plan.
3.  **You already pay for Ahrefs or Semrush.** Use the included quota or the add-on first, then decide whether you need more.
4.  **You sell content and local SEO to clients.** Rankability ($97, 20 content projects, unlimited client workspaces).
5.  **You want each gap turned into a brief, and the Reddit threads AI cites.** Mentionova.

## Where does Mentionova lose to SE Visible?

Mentionova loses on run frequency, prompts per dollar, projects and Google AI coverage. SE Visible tracks 75 prompts daily on five engines for $89; Mentionova Starter tracks 25 prompts on three engines for $125, on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule. SE Visible also includes 5 projects and unlimited seats on Basic. Know these gaps before you trial Mentionova.

-   **Cadence.** SE Visible tracks every day. Mentionova's scheduled runs are weekly, every two weeks or monthly; daily runs are available only through the API.
-   **Prompts per dollar.** $89 for 75 prompts against $125 for 25.
-   **Google AI surfaces and Copilot.** SE Visible scrapes AI Overviews and AI Mode, and its plan cards list Copilot. Mentionova's engines are ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google on three-engine plans, plus Claude, Gemini and Reddit on six-engine plans; AI Mode and Copilot are not among them.
-   **Projects and seats.** SE Visible Basic has 5 projects and unlimited seats. Mentionova brand plans have 1 workspace and 3 team seats.
-   **API on the entry plan.** SE Visible includes API and MCP on Basic.

If daily data on Google's AI surfaces is the requirement, stay on SE Visible.

## How do you find out why AI cites competitors instead of you?

Run the prompts a buyer types before choosing a vendor, then read the sources each engine cites when it names a competitor. Those pages and threads explain the answer. SE Visible shows citation gaps; the next step is deciding which page to update, which source to pitch and which thread to answer.

1.  **Export your prompts.** SE Visible includes API, MCP and a Data Studio connector on Basic, so pull your prompts and history before cancelling.
2.  **Keep the prompts identical.** Paste the same list into the new tool, starting with the five closest to a purchase.
3.  **Overlap for 14 days.** SE Visible's trial is 10 days, so line the overlap up with your renewal date.
4.  **Compare engines both tools track.** ChatGPT is the common ground for every tool on this list.
5.  **Judge the action, not the chart.** For your biggest gap, time how long each tool takes to get you to a page update, a source to pitch or a reply to post.
